    Account rename?

    Is it possible to change the name of my account? Not the character names, but the very account. Thanks.

    I know it's not possible without Admin help, and I'll bet they're not going to be excited about helping FTP with this problem - you can try, and send in a request (can't hurt), but don't get your hopes up.

    If you haven't been playing that long, just sigh, delete the toons (if the names are important to you), and start again with what you want.

    If the names aren't important, you can abandon those alts and mail your new Characters any unbound loot - nice jumpstart.

    (But I have to ask - since only you (and the rare Admin) ever see your Account name, why do you want to change it?)

    Account names and forum handles are permanent. Choose wisely. Once in a while, they will change a forum handle if the forum handle is rude, crude or lewd. For any of these changes, I believe you have to talk to Turbine account management they are part of the account data.


    Unless stated otherwise, all content in this post is My Personal Opinion.

    I'm actually premium, not F2P, if that matters. Gonna send a request soon and see what happens.

    But wait a sec, doesn't everyone on the forum see what my account name is? I though your forum acc = your LOTRO acc. Can't remember, lol, it's been a year since I made it. If that's not the case, is it possible to only change your forum name?

    Ah well. Not a big deal, just wondering since I got bored of this name.
